TiVo Help: If the Youtube account is set to private, the TiVo box cannot access it. We do not have new links yet for where the settings are on YouTube.

WTF do I do? TiVo Help was my last resort. I have made 3 new accounts over the past two weeks and tried each one. None will let me in.

Is it YouTube or TiVo? I've got to say that this was a really, really vague and unsatisfying chat. But no more vague and unsatisfying than me googling "cannot login to YouTube from TiVo". Not to mention searching their respective sites' help forums.

I'm having the same problem. I can login to my Youtube account from a PC, my iMac, my iPad, but NOT from Tivo. Same error that jguestny gets. It looks to me like it never even bothers to even attempt to verify the password as it kicks out the error message almost immediately.

Added: I can also login to youtube via my Android phone. Yes, I have verified the account, and yes I am getting the case correct.

Similar problem here on a Premiere Elite. When I enter my YouTube account username and password (and, yes, they're correct), I get this error message instantly:

There is a problem with your YouTube account. Either it is not set up correctly, or it has been deactivated or disabled.Please go to www.youtube.com to fix the problem with your account, then try logging in again.

I've checked, and I can log in just fine from my iPhone and my Mac. The TiVo made a successful service connection over the network this morning, and using the "Test Network Connection" option shows good network connectivity.

For what it's worth, today I was able to log into YouTube from the Elite (using exactly the same credentials as before).

However, the TiVo says that I have no playlists and no favorite videos. Except I'm sitting here with my laptop looking at 89 favorite videos in that list, and a couple of playlists.

Pretty buggy experience.

I think the lack of access to playlists and favorites is a known TiVo-YouTube issue. I've never gotten that part to work, and as I was reading about someone's trouble logging into YouTube I was wondering why one would bother if they knew.
